Rave over a spire that's been restored (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

praise

'rave' is the definition.
(I know that praise is a is a more specific form of the action of rave)

'over a spire that's been restored' is the wordplay.
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'that's been restored' indicates an anagram.
'spire' with letters rearranged gives 'prise'.
'a' put within 'prise' is 'PRAISE'.

(Other definitions for praise that I've seen before include "Commend or laud" , "Extol, glorify" , "Eulogise" , "Speak highly of" , "Honour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
